Study Contest

Let’s have a contest to see who can put in the most personal study time (not including vacation or company paid time) from Wednesday, 2/27/2002, through Sunday, 3/3/2002. (I would have started on Monday, but I only thought about it today.) We could have all courses takers including multiple course takers participate. (But perhaps we should break it down by course or perhaps discussion area. (i.e., 1-4 and 5+ separate) If you are preparing for more than one exam, I would say we include all personal time for multiple courses.)

The only prize I could think of is, perhaps, for the next week the winner gets to post questions that the rest of us must at least read and try to provide an answer to. To keep us a little more accountable or honest we could post our previous day’s running total personal (non-workday) study time.

I figure we could give it a day to gather ideas and interest. Then for this week we start on Wednesday, 2/27/2002.

Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated.

I will tell you mine in advance since it will be the same as last week (I started the first week of January). From Wed.-Sund, personal study time = 17 hours; for one whole week, 25 hours.

Using your book as a pillow while you sleep doesn't count as studying (and the osmosis effect is negligible).

Are you sure the osmosis effect doesn't work? I was planning to try it out this year just in case.

I think the prize here is probably about as good as you can get and is a good "token". All participants win if it helps them to study a little more and keep a little more focused. 45 minutes more a day leads to 5.25 hours more a week which leads to about 52.5 hours more with ten weeks to the exam.

I am in.
